Frostfeld - The Mourning Son

"In a world where humans and beings of myth and legend live side by side the horrifying and uncompromising nature of the supernatural forces the police and those wields of majik called Inquisitors to work together to save the lives of an entire town. When the French town of Château d'os suffers its first murder in over 100 years, the police discover to their horror that the victim - a teenager - was murdered by supernatural means. This necessitates immediate contact with the Special Inquisitorial Branch - trained sorcerers deal with threats of both the supernatural and extra-terrestrial kind. One of the two Inquisitors who arrives is named Phillip Frostfeld, who is both a hero in his own right and is the latest scion of the legendary Frostfeld clan - a family whose name is synonymous with sacrifice, heroism, and duty. However, Phillip grieves the recent death of his wife in the line of duty and is forced to come to terms with his loss while investigating a case whose aspects chill the blood. He, his partner, and the town's police force soon find themselves in the middle of an ancient cold war between beings who are utterly indifferent to the lives of others, who dispatch the most vicious agents to execute their will. As an ancient past and immediate present collide, the streets of Château d'os become a battleground as both the lives and souls of the town's residents - and possibly the world - hang in the balance. Swords will swing, guns will roar, majik will burn, and blood will flow as a mourning son learns to use his grief as fuel for justice, grief evolves into forgiveness then love, and a steadfast knight is given a second chance to protect those who cannot protect themselves. THE FIRST BOOK IN A NEW URBAN FANTASY SERIES. RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF MIKE MIGNOLA'S "HELLBOY", JIM BUTCHER'S "DRESDEN FILES", AND HIROMU ARAKAWA'S "FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST". View Less
